How to Keep Your Air Conditioner from Failing

June 24, 2019

One thing that can wreck a warm summer’s day in Odessa is a failing air conditioner. Your house is usually the cool place you rest when you’ve had enough of the heat outdoors. But when it’s actually WARMER inside than it is outside, it can be a pretty miserable situation. This condition calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got more fun things to do with your vacation time than wait for your AC to get fixed. So, how can you stop an air conditioner failure and take full advantage of your summer? The key to stopping a failure and the expected air conditioning service appointment is to be proactive! Instead of an emergency air conditioning call, why not plan ahead and arrange preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance tune-up performed by the pros at Redhawk Heating & Air Conditioning is your first and soundest line of defense against a number of problems that can mean AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll check that everything is operating as it should and check for things that could be potential problems down the road. We’ll take care of those potential problems before they grow into costlier problems that leave you in the sweltering heat of summer.

Some other tips you can do to help keep your air conditioner working as it should are:

  • Regularly checking and replacing your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your space.
  • Confirming your AC equipment isn’t obstructed by any plant life or debris. Check to ensure that your air returns aren’t covered by furniture or drapery or anything else that could block airflow. The harder your AC has to work, the less efficient it’ll be—and the more likely it’ll be to break down prematurely.
